Terrible Case of Poisoning.

Tuesday night Mr.. Curtis, the
popular assistant in the Wetherbee &
Morgan land Office, received telegram,
announcing the poisoning of his family at
Malvern, Iowa. His only child was re-
ported dead and his wife likely to die.
Mr.. Curtis started to Malvern by Wednes-
day mornings train. We have been
unable to obtain the particulars concern
ing the poisoning. Mr.. Curtis had rented
the building in the north part of Wa-Kee-
ney, which Mr.. Emig's family had been oc-
cupying. The family of Mr.. Curtis, we
understand, were, at the time of the poi
soning, making preparations to come to
Wa-Keeney to take up their residence.
Mr.. Curtis, in this awful affection, has
the sympathy of this community. Col.
Morgan has spoken to us of the high es-
TEEN in which he holds Mr.. Curtis, and
this feeling is shared here as far as he is
known.
ADDITIONAL.
On Thursday telegram was received
at this place, of which the following is a
copy:
MALVERN, Iowa, Sept Is.
To Col. A. T. Morgan, City:
Baby dead. Some hopes for wife.
Others doing well. Cause of poisoning,
picked tomatoes. CURTIS.
Since writing the first part of this arti-
Gle, we are told that Mr.. Curtis had two
children. One of the ''others" whom he
mentions is relative of his, an uncle, we
believe.

The Tninn Bridge.

No public action has been taken regard
ing the railroad bridge matter, since the
meeting on Wednesday morning, although
the committee, il is understood, has been
doing some tall work on the quiet, and
interesting developments may be looked
for in the near future, which will demon
strate that the committee is going about
the matter in a way that is bound to bring
about favorable results ut no distant time.
As the days 90 by and the project of the
Union bridge is more fully considered, the
business men and manufacturers Of the
city, as well as the citizens in general are
becoming more and more convinced that
Wheeling cannot well get along without
the bridge and that much of the future
prosperity OF the city depends upon it
being built. \ well-knOwn gentleman
who il fully conversant with the whole
matter informed q REGISTER man yeSter-
day that he was firmly convinced that II
the bridge were built and connections made
with the Wheeling x Lake Erie, and the
C. l.. & W, the road from COnnellsylle to
this city would undoubtedly be pushed
through, as he knew of one coke manutac-
turer alone who would take $3.50, 900 worth
of stock in il ut the start and a nuGber OF
his friends would take corresponding
amounts, and with such starts the neces-
sary amountwould soon be subscribed to put
the road on a firm basis. Everything now
indicates that the bridge is about an as
sured fact and the Connellsyille line will
have q chance TO cone through.

''Splendidly, sir; sp~lendidly," said the
gentleman addressed. 1--WE are doing an
enormous amount of business, especially in
the way of moving freight. And business
seems to be steadily growing in that line,
too. So great has been the pressure upon
us that some time ago we we're compelled
to contract for three new engines, and to
that order we have added five hundred
freight cars. One of our new engines, No.

Little has been done, as yet, but Mr..

at Raymond City, as soon rs they can find
